Waste Shark Will Eat Plastic along The Coast

Plastic pollution is a big problem in all parts of the world, especially in harbors and coastal areas where rivers empty into the ocean. There are teams of people who are trying to figure out how to clean up the plastic and debris in the Oceans and there are others that are trying to keep the human population from using more single-use plastic.

A Dutch Environmental Company called RanMarine has developed a drone that will float on the surface of the water that will “eat” plastic. The drone is called the WasteShark. The WasteShark is designed after the whale shark as it swallows everything in its path when it opens its mouth. The drone can “eat” up to 60kg off of one charge of 8 hours.
